This week, at the suggestion of Saint Shut-the-Fuck-up Friday, we will be discussing The Satan Seller by Mike Warnke, pages 26-57, 76, 155-156, 182-196, and Appendices (211-213).

OPTIONAL SUPPLEMENT: Their Holiness’ summary of the vital plot points.  Also pages 58-78 from the book.

Their Holiness has these comments to offer upon the text:

Unlike memoirs that would debut later wherein the main characters were purportedly victims of a Satanic cult, Mike Warnke’s The Satan Seller describes his time as a Satanic High Priest. While the claims in this book could easily be debunked by anyone with the common sense the gods gave little green apples, the claims weren’t formally debunked for nearly twenty years, and the text helped provide an initial spark to what would become the Satanic Panic of the 1980s. Join us for a discussion of occult supply chain management, multi-level marketing schemes that definitely don’t involve the Illuminati, and the very real repercussions of the depictions of very fake Satanism.
